Venandi knelt, tracing a footprint in the mud. Not a boot. A bare foot, but with an odd drag pattern. “Three people,” she said. “One barefoot. One in boots. And one in—no. That’s not a footprint.” She touched a shallow, circular impression. “That’s a tripod.”

“Subject Twelve,” the thing rasped, turning its head with a wet click. “Still filming. Still venandi .”

“Your sister’s camera,” Venandi said quietly. “The one you found. Did you check the shutter count?”
